BROADSTAIRS.—The coastguard on duty reported a vessel, burning flares, off the North Foreland at 3.45 A.M. on the 28th March. The Life-boat Frances Forbes Barton was launched at 4 o'clock, and found the barge Anglo-Saxon about two miles off the Foreland. She had left Ramsgate only a few hours when her steering-gear became disabled, and becoming unmanageable she broached to and was in danger of sinking. The sea fortunately moderating her crew contrived to get her under control by lashing a spar to the rudder-head. The coxswain of the Life-boat offered to assist to take the barge back to Ramsgate gratuitously, and the offer being accepted, one of the Lifeboatmen went on board to pilot her, the boat remaining by her until she arrived at Ramsgate at 8 o'clock.
